He's obviously reading this thread for health advice.

I've got my Grandpa's Mason Sword, it's pretty neat. He wanted to be a shriner but his wife wouldn't let him. Buncha lushes in tiny cars! "But that's why he wanted to be one..."

For the longest time, the assumed survival rule of a rogue trying to solo something was "Does it give EXP? You're probably going to die. Pray your low-skill-cap Intimidate works!" Smoothed out in Velious with raid gear. I could finally kill the lowest con blues solo and consistently survive...

Obviously the only way to settle this is to wait for Blizzard to launch a vanilla server and race.

Arcane Explosion ALL THE MURLOCS.

Apparently Blizzard just lost their Lead Quest Designer too. Obviously the worker bees are rebelling after finding out the next IP is an open world survival PVP game set in the Dora the Explorer universe.

Hey man, for your average scrublord just clearing the corehound trash was 8 days of content a week!

Pizza is a balanced combination of all food groups right? A supreme pizza a meal should keep you in perfect shape.

Riot doesn't want to fulfill the terrible prophecy of the S in their title.

Only if you go higher than Mythic 0.

Normally I wouldn't care about random pre-tier, pre-trinkets balance, but the fact that we won't even sniff tier until January makes the baseline balance level matter a bit more. I'd expect the patch next week that sets raid live will have a lot of changes one way or the other. However, there...

The Rashmi<=>Mishra Planar Portal thing is amusing. [Phyrexia Intensifies]

Pardo left blizzard two years ago. Losing Nick Carpenter is definitely a fresh hit, though, since he was the WoW Cinematic guy. Probably a combination of burn-out and wanting to work with an old friend, since Carpenter's last project was the WoW movie which kinda vomited all over itself...

Leaving to spend more time with his family? I've seen that excuse before. He's obviously been caught sending people dick pics with a green filter.

EDH Bling Holocaust. The new Sword of X & Y art is tight. Wouldn't even be mad about opening one of the Gearhulks, since the art is nice. Expedition Aether Vial: For when you want to play a budget deck in modern, but want your opponent to know budget isn't the reason.

From Pardo's little quote it sounds like they want absolutely nothing to do with "big" games like MMOs.

So, good news, Expeditions are now a baseline "thing" for Magic sets. Should mean slightly cheaper singles in general for people who don't care about bling, as the set's EV absorbs alternate art Mana Crypts and shit; while people who care about bling get 90s-Score-CCG-Style Wacky Bordered Alt...

Shadowpriests are not particularly good in 5-man content. SP has too heavy a single-target focus, and their best gimmick, Surrender, doesn't get full use. It's just a difference in "meta;" 5 mans are burst aoe all the time, raids give your single-target focus the environment and time it needs...

We just need to go Medieval Citizenship with this shit, and base your entry into the Citizen caste on ability to suck Profession Guild Cock or to Beat People's Fucking Faces In Proper, or to have enough money to hire other people to serve as militia in your stead. And then every 10-25 years we...

Curt doesn't lose anything! He won negative moneys!

I seem to remember Jenga starting to sell 2-packs of jenga towers like a month before 9/11 happened. Unfortunate marketing decisions.

In Today's Magic Drama: Random Blogger bitching that Kaladesh isn't India-enough. And shrieking appropriation and not-appropriation at the same time. Magic can't win. Change the setting to contain people of all races on each plane? NOW THAT'S OFFENSIVE BECAUSE THIS PLANE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE...

If you're pulling/stunning properly most non-boss entities should be dead before they get to you with your 20+ withered hucking rocks.

You're shit out of luck on eBay pre-order cancellation as long as they refunded your money; all you can do is leave them a negative feedback a month later.

Yes, but it thins your deck down entirely and replaces the ones you had in hand from a deck that's only land and gas :) I'm not saying it's actually *good*, but it's amusing.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you can Lost Legacy yourself. GTFO Shadowborn Apostle x26~

It's been a decade since he worked on a product? That just means he's in the correct headspace for work on Pantheon!

As a CCG player//MMO player for the better part of my life, my friends are scattered all over the world. Facebook's a handy way to stay in touch with them, now that we aren't bitching in group chat in some dungeon, or meeting up after a tournament to drink, as often.

Was in History class when it happened, insane teacher was nearly crowing with excitement with the TV set on "SEE KIDS, HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING." Gal got committed a few years after I graduated. Tangential, the game I'd been playing since I was 9 or 10 finally croaked last year. The day they...

No. You flicker Spell Queller. Both of its Triggered Abilities go on the stack. You must select initial targets at this point. The spell exiled by Spell Queller is not on the stack yet, just the trigger that will allow the casting of said spell, so you must select a spell that's actually on...

Would have definitely preferred to have some kind of internship program for teaching, instead of dropping thousands and thousands of dollars on gen-eds that were just some grad student reading a book aloud to the class. The entire point of teaching is to help students engage with and understand...

I can't decide whether to buy more $100+ pieces of cardboard, or sell the ones I've got to buy other expensive things.

Thicket was very easy, when I said noticeable I didn't mean increasing difficulty, I meant "Oh, there's something new happening," many fights had increases in damage of abilities/speed of movement, but otherwise felt mostly the same. The flower adds on the tree boss in Dark Thicket didn't add...

Halls of Valor was the only mythic we did where it actually felt "mythic," and that was pretty much only Odin's fight. Mythic 0 definitely just feels like heroic for slightly higher ilvl. But that may in large part be due to running it with low-mobility classes and having to restart Odin a...

Panharmonicon is EDH Crack Cocaine.

Vehicles needed to be adjacent to a block with a "tapping matters" mechanic like Inspire, Lorwyn/Shadowmoor Merfolk, or the Untap-symbol-costed cards, so that it could be justified on synergy-basis. I doubt any of them will be good enough for constructed, for the same reasons Equipment tends to...

So, Kaladesh Fair Day has revealed that Magic the Gathering is now Young Jedi. We podracin, son.

Daretti's wheelchair-bound. That wheelchair just happens to have mechanical spider legs. Magic doesn't need fat characters, it has its playerbase for that. Urza also lost his entire body, but that didn't stop him from pursuing his dream of being a giant death laser. Truly inspirational.

Elidroth make enough money smuggling contraband in his plane to buy EQ?

Playing an Iksar Warrior when they came out was an interesting experience. You pretty much had to do their Iksar Class Armor questline in the 30s/40s because you couldn't wear any of the normal warrior quest/twink gear. The Iksar weapon quests were just cool. It was like having a mini-epic...
